The Well of Ascension

This was a hard book to pick up, but it was very hard to put down. Though I didn't really understand all of the politics of the world, it was still a good book. There were times in the beginning that made it feel like it was just a sequel, but it was towards the second half of the book that really made it feel more like a book in its own right. As good of a book as it was, I don't think anything can compare to the first book.
